House of Prayer offers an opportunity to participate in teaching and training that will help each individual grow to maturity and become a true worshipper and disciple of Jesus. The church is here to equip the saints for the work of the ministry. Submitting to the discipleship process will produce the unity of the faith God intended for His family. The scripture is full of teaching that shows us our responsibility to be equipped, be a good steward, and know God’s Word, ways, and voice. Because of what He’s done in our lives, we pursue becoming all His word declares: thoroughly furnished and full of the knowledge of the truth, living a life of holiness, and preparing in this life to hear ‘well done’ in the next.

We use the words "university" and "school" because that best describes the type of environment this is. Each class is a 12-week course. Our goal is to turn 'church attenders' into DISCIPLE MAKERS! ‘Follow me as I follow Christ!’ This experience, and the material included will assist every believer in teaching and leading others on their journey with Jesus.
